Brandenburg Navy

The Brandenburg Navy (in German: Kurbrandenburgische Marine) was the navy of the Margraviate of Brandenburg from the 16th century to 1701.

Painting of the Brandenburg Navy on the Open Sea (1684).

The merger of the Duchy of Prussia and the Margraviate of Brandenburg in "1701", would give way to the Kingdom of Prussia and this would also give way to the creation of the Prussian Navy, successor to this old Navy.[1]

It would be founded at an unknown time in the 16th century, and would be commanded by the Prince-Electors of Brandenburg, who belonged to the Hohenzollern Dynasty, and would operate several battles in the Baltic, during the colonial era of Brandenburg, the army would take care of protecting to the Brandenburg Gold Coast (present-day Ghana) and several islands in the Antilles, to protect the interests in these colonies. They would also participate in various naval blockades of countries. Over time Brandenburg would lose its colonies and would sequentially be merged with Prussia, in 1721, it would be completely merged with the Prussian Navy to create a single Navy.
